President and CEO Mike Dodd recently appeared on KC Live to encourage homeowners interested in home remodeling that with the proper planning, changes in remodeling projects can be reduced and taken care of well. Read his key points below, or watch the full KC Live segment here »

 

Change orders are construction documents that allow for client flexibility during a remodeling project. People will change their minds as the remodel comes to fruition, and that’s absolutely okay! Even more so, our team of experts at Wineteer implement strong planning techniques and strategies from the beginning in order to improve client knowledge on each step of the remodel, thus reducing the amount of change orders throughout the project. Successful projects come out of great planning that can assist homeowners in visualizing what a project, material or layout will look like before the project has finished. When projects are “Planned Right” in this way, client stress and uncertainty is reduced.

Technology is another great tool to reduce remodeling change orders. Wineteer offers clients an online portal, which is a state of the art cloud-based software product that we have been using for a year. This platform allows us to communicate with clients about the progress of the project at any given moment. Project information can be seen, as well as a calendar of scheduled events and next steps. Change orders can be seen on the portal as well, identifying the materials and steps that will be needed to make the changes, helping strengthen change order management for both our clients and our team. See below for examples of the online portal.
